But what is the use of applying this protection before the lean concrete or backfilling ?! isn't it enough to apply it, as Shaik Abdul Khaja Moinuddin comment, before construction of grade slab?! This will protect the structure from termite  not to reach the floor ?! what do you think?!

Termite protection is used in preparation for the construction of the foundation. It is applied over the soil bed, right before you cast the blinding concrete. The construction sequence of the raft is excavation -> termite control -> blinding concrete -> waterprooding -> screed -> raft.
